Frequently asked questions
Spain Travel FAQs
Europe Travel FAQs
The best time to visit Spain depends on where you're going. Generally, April to June and September to October are great for sightseeing, with pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds. Summer is perfect for beach holidays, although cities like Seville, Córdoba, and Madrid can get extremely hot. If you're looking for winter sunshine, the Canary Islands and southern Spain are good options.
For your first trip to Spain, I'd recommend Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Granada, and Málaga. Each offers something different, from incredible architecture and historic attractions to beautiful beaches and traditional Spanish culture. Personally, Andalusia is my favourite region, and I'd definitely recommend including at least one destination there!
Spain can be relatively affordable compared with some other Western European destinations, but prices vary considerably. Barcelona, Madrid, Ibiza, and popular coastal resorts can be expensive, especially during summer. Smaller towns and inland destinations are often more budget-friendly. Eating at local restaurants and travelling outside peak season can help reduce costs.
Both are beautiful but offer very different experiences. Northern Spain is famous for its green landscapes, mountains, dramatic coastlines, and generally cooler weather. Southern Spain, particularly Andalusia, is known for its historic cities, whitewashed villages, beautiful beaches, and warmer climate. Personally, I love Andalusia, but northern Spain is fantastic if you enjoy nature and hiking.
Spain has an excellent transport network, including high-speed trains, buses, and domestic flights. I'd recommend travelling by train between major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Málaga. However, renting a car is often the best option for exploring smaller villages, remote beaches, and countryside destinations at your own pace.
Spain has so many beautiful regions, and each is completely different! Andalusia is my personal favourite for its historic cities, white villages, mountains, and beaches. Catalonia is famous for Barcelona and the Costa Brava, the Balearic Islands offer stunning Mediterranean beaches, and Asturias and Galicia are fantastic for green landscapes and dramatic coastlines.
A few things are worth knowing before your trip. Spain uses the euro, and Spanish is spoken throughout the country, alongside regional languages in certain areas. Restaurants often serve lunch and dinner later than in many other European countries, and smaller businesses may close for part of the afternoon. I'd also recommend booking popular attractions like the Alhambra in Granada and Sagrada Família in Barcelona in advance.
